Expecting a higher quality doesn't make sense to me. That they may have different qualities does make sense.
When you mention the sharpening media, something clicked. At times with select chisels during sharpening the burr seems to become more like a foil trailing the edge. Is it possible Niels has a very small bit of wire edge left that is strong enough to cut hair but rolls over in the wood?
